Ultragenic Warlord

Chapter 1073: Lava Giant

Li Feng turned to Fang Yi. "What nonsense is he spouting?"

Fang Yi shrugged. "How would I know?"

The solar king roared in outrage, "You're going to send your subordinates at me, but not show up yourself?"

Li Feng sighed. "It looks like this fellow really thinks that we were sent by the king of chaos..."

Fang Yi gave the solar king a thumbs up. "Smart!"

The solar king looked up at the sky. When he saw no sign of motion, he roared again, "King of chaos, I know you're here! Your clones litter the entirety of the three thousand worlds. You must be here somewhere, in a dark corner, enjoying this show! The two men you've sent out have admitted it already!"

The solar king had evidently misinterpreted Fang Yi's sarcastic statement.

Li Feng and Fang Yi certainly weren't sent by the king of chaos, but even if the king of chaos' clone were around, he wouldn't be able to show himself. If he did, it would be akin to admitting that he was keeping an eye on the region.

Neither Li Feng nor Fang Yi were subordinates of the king of chaos. The king of chaos didn't fear anyone in the third realm, but he had no intention of shouldering the blame for this ridiculous claim.

The solar king gritted his teeth. "Very well. If you aren't going to show yourself, I'll kill your two subordinates!"

"He's coming!" Fang Yi immediately got into a battle-ready stance.

"[Wheel of Time]!" Fang Yi's spear took on the aspects of time and age. Temporal winds buffeted the spear, and a mysterious light began to circle the spear like lightning. A wheel of light appeared behind Fang Yi's still-wounded back, taking on the form of a clock.

Li Feng drew his sword, and light-attuned genetic energy gathered on its blade. "[Birth of the Holy Dragon]!"

Li Feng leapt high into the air and landed on the dragon's head, his sword gleaming brightly as though it had been dipped in liquid light. As he raised the sword to the skies, it glowed and expanded, morphing into a huge blade of light.

The solar king raised his hands high overhead once again.

Hundreds of suns manifested in the air, filling the sky.

Fang Yi and Li Feng couldn't help but suck in a deep breath.

As though an apocalypse were about to take place, hundreds of suns appeared overhead, dyeing the entire sky golden. The piercing sunlight shone down on the world, bypassing even regions that were otherwise shaded.

With a wave of the solar king's hand, the suns all began falling toward the ground like meteors. Fang Yi and Li Feng were quickly surrounded by blinding sunlight.

The successive explosion of the hundred suns was like an aerial bombardment. Solar flares formed where the suns struck ground. The series of golden explosions turned the barely livable conditions into something truly hellish.

With a dragon's howl, a silvery-white sword slash tore apart an impending golden explosion, courtesy of Li Feng.

Fang Yi quickly followed up with his spear. The solar king raised his palm and manifested a solar shield before him.

"[Floating Clouds]!" Fang Yi morphed into lightning for mere moments, and the wind swelled around him. He dodged the shield and stabbed at the solar king from all over.

The solar king reached out and caught the spear that was aimed at his head as dozens of afterimages pierced his body. The spears didn't trigger his reactive armor, and neither did golden blood spray from his body. It was evident that they were all illusions, that the solar king had somehow found Fang Yi's actual body accurately.

The solar king maintained a tight grip on the spear, causing it to be unable to advance or retreat no matter how Fang Yi struggled.

The wheel of time behind Fang Yi's back began to turn as another wheel of time stacked onto it—but neither the increase in speed or strength seemed to prove useful.

The solar king chuckled. "You're rather simple-minded, aren't you?"

The solar king's body was covered by reactive golden armor, and the only unprotected parts of his body were his eyes. It was natural that Fang Yi would try to target them.

"Is that so? [Birth of the Holy Dragon]!" Li Feng yelled out. He pulled out a blade from which light began to gather. As he struck, dozens of dragons fell from the skies like meteors.

The solar king raised an eyebrow, then turned his shield toward the meteoric dragons.

The meteoric dragons crashed into the solar shield, causing another wave of golden explosions. The solar shield, just like the solar king's reactive armor, was able to respond to incoming attacks

and would explode upon being damaged, using the strength of those explosions to counteract the opponent's attack. If the attack were short-ranged, the attacker would even be burned by the solar flames.

While the solar king was distracted with Li Feng's [Birth of the Holy Dragon], Fang Yi kicked at the solar king with a leg wrapped in wind and storm.

"[Stormwind Kick]!" The kick struck the solar king's head, causing the reactive armor around his helmet to explode. Fang Yi made use of the momentum of the explosion to escape from his grasp.

The solar king slapped his ringing head. "I'll admit that both of you are strong even for combatants at the level of superior kings. You might barely be considered strong enough to be at the level of superior kings of antiquity, and dealing with the two of you is a tremendous pain. I think I'll call on a helper."

By then, Fang Yi had recovered and was flying back over.

The solar king clapped his palms. The land some distance away splintered and cracked, and a pillar of flame roared into the air.

Flames swept over the ground, and the flaming boulders that had been launched into the air now fell like a flaming meteor shower.

A figure emerged from the flames, like a fire giant. Flaming lava circulated around its body, as though they were its arteries and veins. Its entire body burned with a dark-red flame.

Its eyes were hollow, making it seem like a robot or golem. Its massive body was thousands of meters tall. It carried a furnace of dark red flame on its back, and radiated an unbelievable heat. If it were to approach a bar of steel, that steel might very well sublimate.

This giant felt like a personification of the world of blazing sun, a giant out of hell, a furnace by its back.

Upon sensing the aura of the dark red furnace, Li Feng's eyes grew wide. "Is that the proof of kingship of this world?"

Fang Yi seemed rather skeptical. "Surely not. The proofs of kingship we've seen have all been inanimate, haven't they? There's no way they could be granted life..."
